Reviews
The Library Bar is a really beautiful and classy vintage cocktail bar that has the atmosphere of a historic private members' club. They had signature cocktails and mocktails, which were creative and delicious, along with classic cocktails and other alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and a selection of bar snacks. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great. I recommend reserving a table a few days in advance, as it tends to book out.
Stumbled across this cocktail bar when scouring Google Maps for somewhere for a nice drink near our hotel before turning in for the night. Boy are we glad that we found it. We arrived and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table to become free, we were happy to wait. I'm not sure if you can book a table or not? The short wait was worth it. The bar had a great ambience. Really cool decor. The atmosphere felt both lively and relaxed at the same time. Service was great. There was live jazz music which was really good. The cocktails were great. We could have stayed all night trying different ones but unfortunately we were tired after a day of travelling. I would definitely return in future.
Wow! I'm blown away by this establishment. The cocktails are fantastic, rules are fun but help set the right tone, and the room is exactly the right fit. The vibes are immaculate. Our waiter, Emile was top notch. He made stellar drinks, was respectful, knew exactly how much to converse, and some how knew exactly when we needed him. This is a great place to slow down and have thoughtful conversation.
A must-visit venue for cocktail lovers. The wood of the room, deep carpets, leather lined chairs and sofas, and wall to wall books and paintings scream class from the moment you walk in. We had 3 cocktails each from the house menu - the vibrant 'Grapes of Wrath', deep berry flavoured 'Odyssey', but the star of the evening was the 'Orient Express' which, despite having saffron and milk as 2 of its components was clarified to be completely clear. The taste was exceptional. It's not eye-wateringly expensive but don't go if you're on a tight budget (or go for one) but if you want to treat yourself (you know you're worth it) and visit somewhere that looks like Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra might walk in at any moment then you won't be disappointed.
I love this bar! It was recommended through my friend before traveling to Copenhagen. The vibe is just perfect. The cocktails were so amazing, we ordered Orient Express and the Art of War with some nuts. They were all incredible! Highly recommended visiting and grabbing a drink to catch up with friends or go on a date!
